This book masterfully draws you into hell with two desperate grad students. It's a tense journey that unravels complicated relationships that blur the lines between hate and love. I was left asking myself who or what I would live or die for. 

Grad students and former "gifted and talented students" will feel especially seen and disturbed.

Couldn’t stop thinking about this book since I finished (and agonising over how to rate it) - 5 stars!
